in conversation with
Susan Fraser
reprinted with the express written permission of both Susan Fraser and Dogs in
Canada Magazine.... This interview originally appeared in the April/May 2011 issue of
Dogs in Canada.
Bibelot Perm Reg’d Standard Poodles.
When did you become involved with purebred dogs?
My parents purchased a Standard Poodle in the mid-ʼ40s before Poodles became popular.
About that time Bay Meyers began her obedience classes, to which I took our Poodle. We were
both quick learners (we won three pounds of Laura Secord chocolates on graduation night!).
Bay Meyers encouraged me to enter an obedience trial – we came second High in Trial and
won a trophy.
Of course we had to finish that CD. My parents were travelling and as they had arranged to
leave our Poodle with the breeder, they jokingly asked if the breeder would consider boarding
me too. Mistake. I brought home a puppy that quickly became a champion and earned her UD.
Then puppies. Dog breeders all know the story.
What drew you to the breed?
Everything I tried with our first Poodles
proved successful. I soon learned to groom
and other Poodle owners asked me to groom
their dogs. That money helped pay university
expenses. I opened the Poodle Studio in
Toronto. By then I was breeding and showing white, black and apricot Standard
Poodles, gaining champion- ships and
obedience titles. Then the puppy of our
dreams was born. ʻTrampʼ gained his
Canadian and American championships with
group wins as a puppy. But what to do with
him, as we were living in a one-bedroom
apartment? Solution: Send him to England
for 18 months to our friend Marilyn Willis,
who guided him to his English championship
and many Bests in Show, culminating in
Crufts Reserve BIS in 1966 and Englandʼs
Dog of the Year. As well, no one could ask for
a better family companion.
What struggles do you see facing the breed?
Poodles are popular as they come in all sizes
and colours. The breed standard says that
any solid colour is acceptable in the
conformation ring, but that doesnʼt stop particoloured Poodles from being bred and
entered in all the other competition events
open to purebred dogs. Poodle breeders also

have to contend with Poodle crosses. So-called breeders want to breed other breeds to
Poodles because a Poodle is exceedingly bright and lovable and does not shed. These
characteristics are promoted. Pups are fluffy and cute. The public falls for them. Most
recently, breeders must decide whether to leave tails long, or dock.
What activities do they excel at?
The show coat may not appeal to most people but there is an exceedingly intelligent,
willing-to-please Poodle under all that hair.
The hunting gene is still evident, even in the Miniatures and Toys. Poodles make
excellent therapy dogs, special-needs companions and all-round reliable family
companions. You will find Poodles competing and taking high scores (or zero, if they so
wish) in all dog sports. In my opinion there is no more versatile breed. Watch them work.
They are laughing and enjoying themselves.
What are your breeding priorities?
I want my dogs to maintain the intelligence and charm that makes a Poodle so
adaptable.
The appearance of the ideal show Poodle has changed over these 60 years from a
solid, sound, slightly longer-bodied dog into one thatʼs ultra-refined, high on leg and
rather narrow- headed. Showing has become a hairdressing skill. Canʼt we find a happy
medium?
I want a Poodle sound of body and mind. I want that joie de vivre to shine forth.
Every breed has its health issues. As breeders we must face them in our breeding
program, do the suggested genetic testing and support canine research programs.
How would you like to be remembered?
I have had fun with Standard Poodles, taken on new challenges and encouraged and
mentored others. I enjoy evaluating pups and then seeing how well they turn out. I enjoy
working with Poodle Club of Canada members to turn out our annual specialty shows. I
have never wanted to be a judge because a judge is restricted in what he or she can do
outside the ring. I would like to thank all those who have encouraged and influenced me
in my goal to breed Poodles of
quality.

registered in 1953 and has produced

1965 and Reserve Best in Show at
Crufts in 1966. More recently, Bibelot

One of my poodles (a puppy I
bred and kept ) Sunshine was
in a runway show during
Toronto Fashion week. The
company is Korhani a rug
maker which choose to
showcase their rugs by
fashioning them into
wearable? art. The black
standard is Henry owner by
another groomer. It was great
fun and Sunny was quite the
sensation as she was PINK. So
many pictures were taken of
her .
